U.S. has 2 of 26 most dangerous cities in the world

In the United States, the number of homicides supposedly is at a near 25-year low — at approximately 5.3 homicides per 100,000 people.

Nevertheless, 2 of the 26 most dangerous cities in the world — where the murder rate is more than 50 per 100,000 people — are in the U.S., according to data provided by international research group Seguridad, Justicia y Paz. They are St. Louis, Missouri (#14)and Baltimore, Maryland (#26).

The ranking is determined by a city’s rate of homicide (# of homicides per 100,000 people), not by the absolute number of homicides.

A shocking 23 of the world’s 26 most dangerous cities are in Latin America:

The most dangerous city in the world is Caracas, the capital of Venezuela — the socialist country that literally is falling apart (see “Venezuela has come to this: Cannibalism in prisons”). The homicide rate in Caracas is a shocking 130.35 per 100,000 people. Caracas also tops the list in the absolute number of homicides in 2016: 4,308.

Here are the 26 most dangerous cities in the world (source: 24/7 Wall St.):

It should be noted that both St. Louis and Baltimore have Democrat mayors, and both have black majority populations: 49.2% and 63%, respectively. St. Louis has lost 62.7% of its population since the 1950 census; Baltimore‘s population, too, has declined at each census since its peak in 1950.

Once again, “most dangerous” is defined by the RATE of homicides, not the absolute number. A city with a large population would have a larger number of homicides, but not necessarily a large homicide rate.

In 2016, Chicago had a total of 762 homicides, but “only” 27.7 homicides per 100,000 people, which is miniscule compared to Caracas’ 130.35 homicides per 100,000, or St. Louis’ 60.4 homicides per 100,000, or Baltimore’s 51.1 homicides per 100,000. http://time.com/4635049/chicago-murder-rate-homicides/

East St. Louis is in Illinois. It’s a totally separate city. The thing about St. Louis, MO, is that since the Civil War, the “city” has been separate from the county and all of the suburbs that most cities include in their statistics, which makes the results seem so bad. If they could include the hundreds of thousands of people who live in the county into their stats, they’d suddenly become one of the safer cities. St. Louis doesn’t absorb suburbs within its “city” the way other cities do. Although metro St. Louis has almost 3 million people, the city of St. Louis is only about 300,000. It’s like counting only the “inner city” of other places like Indianapolis.

For St. Louis, the source, 24/7 Wall St., has 311,404 as the total population. That means the research group Seguridad, Justicia y Paz, which drew up this list of world’s 26 most dangerous cities, means the city of St. Louis, not metropolitan St. Louis.

The Democratic Party has become, essentially, or for all practical purposes, a criminal syndicate, whether its members know it or not: Their grift and their graft destroy great cities, like Detroit, St. Louis and Baltimore.
My mother was from Annapolis, a stone’s throw away from Baltimore. I have nephews who live in Baltimore. Baltimore is a microcosm for the political corruption that has overtaken the entire state of Maryland. I hope President Trump can do something about it.

Let’s not leave out the country where I was born! CUBA. 90 miles from the USA, the country MUSTAFA OBAMA visited and gave the island his blessings. Unknown to the world the crimes there, pedofile, murders, rapes, prostitution, boys and girls, beginning at 12 years old, poverty, lice, hunger, misery, no medicine, all product of a tight fist COMMUNIST tyranny that doesn’t let anything escape their shores. VISIT THIS PARADISE OF THE CARIBBEAN, they say, I say prepare yourself for blackmail $$$$$$ , if you want to leave the island or you will be subject to a DISAPPEARING ACT.
